The Shady SEO Email Sales Pitch & Why I’m building A Public API To Stop IT!

Doing legitimate business now days is becoming quite cumbersome but you know what really grinds my gears (Peter Griffin reference lol…)? Shady SEO sales emails, I have a lot of SEO clients who seem to be receiving emails from salesmen with fake GMail accounts promising them better ranking through their site’s contact forms. The problem is the clients receiving these emails are clients already Ranking 1-5 on Google, Bing & Yahoo. Here is an example of what these sales emails look like…

It takes in some cases a lot of work to get these clients to the first page of any search engine and these clowns try to take advantage of uninformed business owners by getting them to try to switch to them. Now I have no problem with honest business but this is just shady period!. If you’re so confident about your process, business or model why send out covert emails? Why would you be pitching SEO incognito?
People like this make me sick and have no sense of honor, most likely trained by some sales clown with a suit in a call center (shell company) who resells one-size-fits-all SEO packages for another “SEO” company who wants to make easy money from people who already have put in the hard work. I have already built an anti-solicitation framework for internal business operations to try to eliminate these type of sales pitches but now I’m going to take it a step further.
For the next few weeks I will be working on a public API to stop all people with flagged email and IP addresses associated with these types of sales tactics. Just for fun I am thinking of also putting up a public wall of shame for people to view the type of shady emails sales pitches to look out for.
